The Chelmsford Republican Town Committee Debate for Town candidates was held on March 10th at the Police Station. CRTC member Brian Latina did a great job as Moderator of the debate, and the CRTC once again filled the room. Residents participated in the debate by submitting thoughtful and intriguing questions for the candidates, and everyone left the debate being a better informed voter.

We greatly appreciate the hard work by everyone at Chelmsford Telemedia for broadcasting the event live and for replaying it throughout the election. We also want to give a sincere “thank you” to all of the candidates for stepping up and offering to serve the Town of Chelmsford – best of luck to all of you with your campaigns!

On February 20, 2016 the Chelmsford Republican Town Committee had a record number of attendees at the annual Lincoln Reagan Dinner. Michele McPhee, host of The Michele McPhee Show on WMEX 1510AM, and Ed King, Founder of Citizens for Limited Taxation, were the guest speakers and their inspirational and no holds barred speeches were enjoyed by a very enthusiastic crowd. Special appearances by Abraham Lincoln (Paul Rigazio) and Ronald Reagan (Brian Latina) rounded out a very patriotic evening. Thank you to all of our friends who helped make our celebration a great time and a huge success!

Please join us on Saturday, February 20th at the American Legion Post in North Chelmsford for the CRTC’s Annual Lincoln Reagan Dinner. $15 per person / $25 per couple. Join us for dinner, dancing, and our special guest speakers:

Warren is expected to continue to neglect Massachusetts in 2016, but one thing she could do for her constituents is to stop embarrassing us with her high-profile struggles with the truth. We don’t want to set the bar too high for her, though – so maybe she could start by moving from four Pinocchios to three. Unfortunately, we’re not holding our breath.

Healey’s “inclusive” rhetoric on the campaign trail doesn’t match her actions – she’s gladly accepted campaign contributions from the Teamsters – who were accused in their indictment of employing “old school thug tactics” when they harassed women on a film crew last year.

Our advice to Healey – in 2016, find some new friends who aren’t facing federal indictment.

Next year, we’d recommend Rosenberg re-examine the recent history of Democratic scandals on Beacon Hill: three felonious Democratic House Speakers and a probation scandal that destroyed public confidence in the Legislature.

We hope Rosenberg takes the time to read up on the the sad history of Democratic corruption in the Legislature, because his tone-deaf comments don’t exactly inspire public confidence in his ability to be any different.

It was a full house at the CRTC Christmas Party at Princeton Station! CRTC members and guests had a great time celebrating the Christmas season – and with an exciting Republican Presidential Primary, there were many lively conversations! Special thanks to Princeton Station for the wonderful food and service.
